I didn’t verify that this is real but it’s funny so - the Pentagon presents Putin Asperger’s

    Autism was first identified by Grunya Sukhareva. She published her findings in 1925, a full 15 years before Asperger did. Asperger had access to her writings while he wrote his book in 1940, but she was a woman, a Jew, and a communist, so Asperger’s Nazi ass didn’t cite her and pretended he discovered Autism himself. Her findings were also more detailed and sympathetic to her patients than Asperger’s were. They included things like stimming and special interests. That work was not translated into English until 1996.

    Diagnosing someone who is not your patient and who you have never actually met is usually called malpractice

    He also has a tiny peepee and is gay. These are the reasons he invaded Ukraine.

    Of course the pentagon would use the term Asperger's instead of autism, gotta simp for nazis who tortured and murdered children when doing ableism

    Gonna trap the libs who talk about Putin being a madman by saying they are insulting/making fun of someone who is neurodivergent.

    Either the Pentagon is shrewdly using Hollywood-esq gossip as a new propaganda tool or their internal profiling methods are indistinguishable from Hollywood-esq gossip. Are they competent enough for it to be the former?

      Pentagon 2008 study claims Putin has Asperger's syndrome

      and then in the article

      A study from a Pentagon think tank theorizes

      Not defending the study, but this journalistic hackery needs to be called out too. They want you to think that serious generals are sitting around a table speculating this when it was actually just thrown out as a possibility by some beltway moron in a make work job.
